Newest or Rare(ist) Morph?

Copper Corns

I can tell you the Coppers are not Rosy since the original parents came from the Tampa/St.Petersburg area.They also appear to be Hypo.

Odd that they chose "Copper" as the name - this is the common name for non-amelanistic Great Plains Rat X Corns (AKA "Rootbeer") in the UK.

Agreed, it would be interesting to see what the results of this "copper" bred to a Kastanie based animal.

Copper corns are the rarest corn I have seen.Look at JMG Reptiles for pictures.It looks like someone cut 2 corns in half and spliced the 2 together.I have a trio of these guys and those pics do not do them justice.

I have been thinking more on this subject. If you have 1.2 and JMG has the original adults of the "copper" corn, then there are 5 of them. Not sure if this is still the case but last I talked with the owner of the "calico" (man that is a terrible name), there was only one of them in existence. To me, that makes this the current rarest morph of corn snake.

You are right, but I would hate to have the rarest morph if you could not reproduce it.

We will know for sure this up coming breeding season if this is a rare morph or one that has been around for years.

What would make you think the trait is not reproducible?

History,Calicos have been around for many years.The market should be flooded with them by now.

 

[Jim Godfrey]

As was mentioned earlier in this thread we used the name calico due to the fact that this new morph has not been given a name as of yet. The snake referred to as a calico in this thread has never been seen before at least not in corns. The old calico corns were not actually a heritable trait.

Probably something concocted by Joe P. :sidestep: :devil01:

 

[Jim Godfrey]

Nope. Not the one I am referring to. It was w/c here in South Carolina.

Other than Tessera and Hypo Cinder, I would say another NEW morph and definitely RARE is that Anery or Charcoal Amber Stripe that Darryl Walker produced this year. Here is a picture...

Here are a few pics of Him and His Sibling today after Coloring up a Little and putting on some size. I noticed that one has Definitive Dark Striping and the Other seems to have White Striping. I still cannot decide if the recessive Gene that surfaced in these Amber Stripes is Charcoal or Anery. Normally, the Yellowish sidewalls would indicate Anery (Ghost) but since it is an Amber, I don't think that one can make that assumption with complete accuracy. Either way, the snakes are Homozygous for 4 Different Genes which is pretty exciting. At least I think so.

Nobody has mentioned the Blushing corn that VMS has. I emailed Sean and he said he is going to release them overseas first because the market is more stable. We will not see them in the U.S. for about 3 or 4 years from now. Does anyone know what the secret combo is to produce them?

I would watch out asking for secret recipes... you know the old saying. I would tell you but then I'd have to kill you.... lol but your right they are pretty..... :laugh01:

Have not seen this one yet. Where can it be viewed, anyone know?
I check the VMS website and don't see it there...:shrugs:

Walter they are on page 69 of the 2009 Cornsnake morph guide. This is the only picture that I have found. Sean said the project is coming along slowly but will be releasing them overseas soon. Hope this helps.

Actaully, no. Unfortunatly, I don't have the 2009 edition, but I do appreciate the info.


Thanks, Walter

Cool, Thanks !!
It is very nice, but actually looks like a "Frosted" Ghost to me.
Is there somewhere that contains any background info on this line that you know of?
